Introducing our new series: In Their Own Words! We’re excited to share stories directly from our incredible alumni, highlighting their personal journeys with the Wildlife Leadership Academy. This week we are featuring Grace, a 2022 Bucktails alum. Watch the video below to hear Grace share her experiences with the Academy.
Our programs thrive thanks to the continued involvement of our alumni, who serve as youth mentors, apprentices, summer staff, and instructors. The opportunities we offer allow alumni to return to field school each year provide them with valuable leadership development and resume-building skills as they advance in their careers. It’s truly a full-circle moment to see a former student leading the classroom as staff member. Below, we highlight the various ways our alumni contributed to the Academy this summer, giving back to the next generation.
